Well, if this happened in Portland, I'm sure the cops would probably stand down and ignore the situation. But in New York City? Nope. You break the
law in New York City, you will get arrested, regardless what the clueless, anti-police mayor thinks.
Seems like there are many people who aren't happy about NY's Metropolitan Transportation Authority raising their fare to $2.75. Last April,
many protesters were arrested after they started blocking buses and trains.
"We support everyone's right to protest but blocking buses and trains is a wildly irresponsible action that does nothing but put people at
risk of injury and harm fellow riders. The only thing this event accomplished was to cause delays for fellow riders and take critical police resources
away from other public safety work."
Police officers came to intervene and arrested them for disorderly conduct.
Things didn't get better over last summer, with the police arresting more and more people for disorderly conduct. There were incidents practically
everyday last year and the police certainly didn't get any support from their cop hating mayor. NEWSFLASH...You break the law and refuse a LEO's
commands, you will probably get arrested.
Clip from last November:
Don't these people realize that everything, from gas to movie tickets, get more expensive over time? Heck no, idiots like socialist Democrat Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, incited this violence with nonsense tweets like this.
AOC's tweet from last November:
So, a congresswoman says if you cannot afford something, you should protest, because you're not getting your way. Wah...wah...wah. And you wonder why
cops get frustrated and overwhelmed doing their jobs.
From last November:
Lawlessness has once again taken over the streets of New York City, where on Friday hundreds of protesters marched, vandalized city buses
and police cruisers, yelled expletives at local police officers, cut open turnstiles, and much more.
Their concerns? One was New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to hire 500 additional officers to patrol the town’s sprawling network of subways,
where murder, rape, robberies, and assaults have steadily been on the rise.
Here we are, the start of a new year and the protesters in NY are not giving up. I guess they're still going to resort to civil disobedience, in yet
another attempt to get their way. They're still not happy with the police arresting them for BREAKING THE LAW.
Notice how these dimwits can't even spell?? "The trains our ours. The walls are ours." Yep, sounds like something a socialist would say. They
must love Bernie.
Anti-police activists are planning to “# # up” in protests against the New York City Police Department (NYPD), demanding free public
transportation on the city’s subway system.
“We encourage you to link up with your friends, your family, and think of the ways you can move in affinity to build and # # up on J31 all
day long,” an activist said in the video. “The mood for J31 is simple: # your $2.75. No cops in the MTA, free transit, no harassment period,
and full accessibility. We hope that you come through and move with us on J31. # the police.”
Real classy, huh? This is probably why millennials, and clueless adults, like these protesters, support the "socialist" savior Bernie Sanders. Hmmm,
didn't several of Bernie's field organizers recently get caught making these statements?
“We would need a federal government and labor union movement that is working together to strip power away from capitalists and
preferably directing violence toward property. At the end of the day, this kind of stuff will come out through practice..."
“It would, it’s gonna take, you know, it’s gonna take militancy…like a militant labor movement that’s willing to…strike, and if
necessary, you know, just destroy property and things like that.”
These people may support Bernie Sanders and democratic socialism, but what they really want is free stuff. I wonder if Mayor De Blasio and AOC are
planning to attend these protests?

Wow that was quick and just within weeks of the release of Billions of dollars already into the economy by George Soros. Connection here?
One thing that remains is that New York City has a strong Police Union. Same for the State Troopers.
So where is the FBI? They have no idea as to who is the organizer? I thought that the NSA has everything on all along with Goggle, twitter, 23 and me
et al.
I also wonder about Christopher Wray. Is he a Deep State kind of guy?
Can someone explain to me how a situation like this can exist in the US, whilst at the same time, the US government gives BILLIONS in foreign aid -
annually.
The lions share of that comes from you doing your 9-5 for 60+ years of your god forsaken existence on this rock.
Anyway, asking for a friend, since my government won't answer the question, when asked why they do the same......
If you redistribute foreign aid (remember thats your money - not the US governments - you earned it, not them) domestically, imagine what could be
achieved and provided free as a public utility?
It's a paradox, until viewed from the stance of a war between Nationalism vs Globalism.
the irony here is a group claiming to be "anti fascist" wants to use force to demand they get free things that everyone else has to pay for. Are they
really so stupid they don't see it?
Looks like the wealthy gaggle of whites who gentrified Brooklyn now can't afford a $2.75 bus fare after their friends followed and increased the rent
on them.
Surely there's bigger problems out there to squawk about? Idiots.
The police are no different than their cell phones and I pads. Sometimes they screw up. Most of the time though they get it right otherwise nobody
would be using cell phones and I pads.
These people want a flawless law enforcement system. Well guess what. NOTHING is without flaws, including these protesters so calm the hell down.
There is a right way and a wrong way in a civil society to address it. Breaking laws, blocking traffic is not one of them. It's like slamming a cell
phone into the concrete whenever it give wrong directions.
They are outraged about a couple of incidents where people made mistakes. What about the 98% of the time they got it absolutely right. Give me a
break. They are never going to achieve anything in this life if they demand a perfect system in anything. It does not exist so get over it. Bunch of
panzies.
Perma ban them all who were arrested or positively identified from photo and video from utilizing the trains. Probably cut down on the pee smell and
violence as well.
At least this time they are directly protesting what makes them mad instead of blocking random highways for hours on end to "raise awareness" by
ticking off people not involved in the mess.
All right ... I get it. They're mad because the price of transit went up. You know what? I'm mad because the toll on the turnpike keeps getting bumped
by $0.15 here and $0.25 there. At the point where you feel like you need a $10 bill just to take a quick trip to meet your folks for lunch, it gets
sort of ridiculous.
And I'll bet I'm not alone.
And I'll give them props for protesting directly the source of their frustration -- the transit system. I did get upset with BLM for not protesting
the justice system directly but instead blocking highways and other areas that had nothing to do with what upset them.
However, the cops do have a job. And if you move from protest to destruction and violence, then that job gets engaged which is to stop you from your
now criminal activity.
